I really hope they can keep the race a bit more tight this time around - Bob and Alaska were clear frontrunners almost from day 1.
I'd rather have a bait and switch like Ginger/Violet where one stomps the entire competition then doesn't win because she was shady a few times in Untucked

God, but that was the best thing. Untucked season 7 was worth it just for Violet's season 8 crowning look.

Ross' flurry of puns reminded me why I love him as a judge so much
Eureka's constant shade got pretty grating after the first few minutes, and I hope that gets toned down later on.

Does anyone actually believe Ru when she says nobody's getting eliminated? I don't know what play on the elimination system is happening to make that not a straight up lie, but I hope it's explained quickly.

I aspire to be as unbothered in my daily life as Nina is during Untucked's required argument.

I feel like Cynthia's lack of lipsync ability during the challenge specifically was a language barrier thing. Fast lyrics in a mouth with an accent are always going to look off. (Yes I know there were ones she straight up did not know) It made sense to me since that's ALSO what sent her home back in season 8, joke delivery between languages is hard. The ESL queens tend to get eliminated mostly during acting challenges from what I've seen, as well.
The lipsync though? They're given a week to learn that poo poo there is no excuse.

This runway was loving sick, I love when they get to do crazy huge wigs and poo poo. It was really fun, the only one I was kind of meh with was Alexis, even though I liked what she did with the hair dress. Aja's also getting a lot better with her makeup.

I feel like the last major thing Aja needs to do to get better with her makeup is fix that drat upper lip that's been driving me crazy ever since the volcano look, and after that it's just doing it over and over until she gets the hang of it.

I hope Sasha has to lipsync but makes it to the top 3 anyway. I just want to see her kill someone onstage. My other 2 picks are obviously Sasha and Valentina.

There aren't challenges, everyone just kinda has to scrape together 12 performances that somehow correlate. The person eliminated is based on completely arbitrary poo poo, like "i didn't like the lip color you used" or "I don't like that band"

Ben got eliminated last time for doing "old lady pinup drag" and being "unable to do anything else" (in a season with bianca boatneck del rio, nine bikinis, and sequin trashbags. the critiques in season 6 were so weird) so I hope the judges don't get stuck in that mindset again
